SUBCONTRACTOR DEFAULT INSURANCE: EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Snyder Langston provides Subcontractor Default Insurance (SDI) in the amount of $25,000,000 for qualifying
projects. SDI, underwritten by Cove Programs Underwriting Ltd with an A XV Best rating, provides protection
from losses resulting from the inability of any one of Snyder Langston’s subcontractors to fulfill their contractual
obligations. Depending on the term purchased for SDI, coverage can continue beyond the subcontractor’s
completion date for 2, 5 or 10 years (the longest period in California for the Statute of Limitations.)
SDI replaces subcontractor payment and performance bonds while providing superior coverage and substantially
faster claim resolution. By directly reimbursing Snyder Langston for losses incurred as a result of a defaulting
subcontractor, Snyder Langston is better positioned to immediately complete the work while mitigating delays
and disruption to the project.
SDI provides a wide array of benefits over bonds to include the following:
- Helps minimize project delays due to subcontractor failures
- Pays for losses incurred as a result of replacing a defaulted subcontractor
- Pays for attorney fees, experts, etc. needed to adjust the loss
- Typically less expensive than subcontractor bond costs
- Pays for subcontractor overtime and acceleration costs to make up for time lost
- Pays for costs to remediate defective work of the defaulted subcontractor
- Pays for suppliers who were not paid by the defaulted subcontractor
- Pays for liquidated or actual damages caused by the defaulting subcontractor
- Pays for loan extension costs
- Pays for liens, tax responsibilities, union dues, etc. associated with the project due to the defaulted
subcontractor
- Catastrophic protection should a subcontractor default during or after construction (pays more than the
value of the subcontract, if necessary)
- Includes a post-construction 10 year tail to coincide with the statute of limitations
- The policy does NOT cover the General Contractor’s Overhead and Profit for the project nor any self-
performed work
The program is underwritten by Cove Programs Underwriting, Ltd, and insured by Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s
of London and International Insurance Co. of Hannover SE, UK Branch.
SDI can be a cost effective alternative for those projects requiring the General Contractor to provide a 100%
performance payment bond which in turn triggers the requirement for all or most of the subcontractors to do the
same. This “double bonding” can be eliminated and the cost for protecting the project substantially reduced by
the owner electing to cover the project with SDI and choosing to be endorsed on the SDI policy.
